My partner and I were craving a lively and active weekend to kick off the spring season. Ogunquit, Maine, beckoned with promises of blooming flowers and coastal excitement, making it the perfect destination for our April getaway. Little did we know just how much adventure awaited us in this charming coastal town.
From the moment we arrived on a bright Friday afternoon, Ogunquit's vibrant energy set the stage for an unforgettable weekend. Our chosen lodging, The Falls at Ogunquit, provided the ideal base for our explorations. Excitement bubbled as we planned our itinerary, eager to make the most of every moment.
Saturday morning kicked off with a burst of activity as we hit the scenic Marginal Way for a brisk hike. The coastal path offered stunning views of the ocean, and the crisp April air invigorated us. We couldn't resist the allure of the beach, so we spent the afternoon trying our hand at paddleboarding along the shores of Ogunquit Beach. The cool breeze and the laughter echoing over the waves made for a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
After working up an appetite, we explored the town's bustling Perkins Cove, known for its charming boutiques and eateries. We stumbled upon a seafood joint and indulged in a feast of fresh catches, savoring the flavors of the sea. The lively atmosphere of Perkins Cove added to the festive spirit of our weekend.
In the afternoon, we embraced Ogunquit's artistic side by visiting the Ogunquit Museum of American Art. The eclectic collection provided a cultural interlude before we dove back into the outdoors. Our next adventure led us to Mount Agamenticus, where we tackled the trails and enjoyed panoramic views of the blossoming landscape. The vibrant colors of spring added an extra layer of beauty to our active escapade.
As the sun began to set, we decided to cap off our day with a seaside bike ride along the scenic coastline. The golden hues of the sunset cast a warm glow over Ogunquit, creating a magical backdrop for our adventurous spirit. We found a beachside restaurant to toast to the day's exploits, enjoying a delightful meal while the sea breeze carried the scent of salt and adventure.
